Yes had I did my homework rather than take the easy way out by requesting the package I'd realize sickbeard and sabnzbd want older versions of Cherrypy so I did have to install the old version. Funny thing is if I remove the newest version with gslapt then sabnzbd won't work - but oh well it works with both installed.

I've been using sickbeard to automate my tv downloading with sabnzbd for about a year now. Those combined with xbmc to stream and watch directly allowed me to drop satellite for TV.
